TIER 1 AND TOURIST VISA

Post by sarahA » Fri May 11, 2012 11:47 am

I have a tier 1 visa which expires on the 16th May. I applied for a renewal and got an acceptance and my passport back but I havent recived my biometric yet. I was meant to travel out of the UK for two days ( 13 & 14th May) but was told if I dont have my biometirc yet my old tier 1visa is not valid. My question is I also have a valid tourist visa in my passport - would it be possible to travel and return to the UK on this?

The tourist visa that you assume is valid (because the expiry date is yet to pass) is, in fact, no longer valid.
Life isn't fair, but you can be!
